Hi, friends! I hope you’re doing well so far, it’s already the middle of the month ๐ This week, I’ll take you for a day trip to Vietnam to see Tam Chuc Pagoda, one of the largest pagodas in the world. Prepare your walking shoes, jacket, and hat for the long walk! I went to see this famous Buddhist temple with my mom and sister. One of the perks of joining a group tour is you can visit far far away places without having to worry about transportation. According to Google, it takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hanoi to Tam Chuc Pagoda. It was a wonderful day…

Best Seafood in Malaysia: Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti & Veg Fish Farm Thai
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to the two best seafood restaurants in Malaysia: Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti and Veg Fish Farm Thai. The content in this blog post is my own opinion and it’s not a paid post ๐ Actually, this blog post is inspired by my colleagues. On certain occasions, some colleagues from the Cyprus office will come to Malaysia and they are mostly white. One day, during a company event, I saw a colleague happily filled up his plate with crispy butter prawns. He said that he never had it before, especially the butter crisps. Him: “It’s very nice!! We don’t have this in Cyprus.”…

Amsterdam: Van Gogh Museum, Canal Cruise & Red Light District
Whenever spring comes, I always think of tulips. But I don’t know why, I don’t have the desire to go to Amsterdam to see the tulips bloom… maybe not yet ๐ So, this week, let me take you to Van Gogh Museum and stroll Amsterdam. We’ll board on a cruise twice and visit the famous red light district too! I went to Amsterdam twice on separate tours, just because the itinerary includes the city. Even so, I haven’t finished enjoying everything the city offers. If I ever go to Amsterdam again, I’d love to visit Gieethoorn ๐ทโต๐ Okay, so, on my first trip, I explored Amsterdam and the famous red…

Overseas Wedding Invitation: Yes or No?
Hi everyone, I hope you had productive days this week. It’s almost Friday, woohoo!! ๐๐๐บ Actually, I wanted to share with you my Amsterdam trip this week but something changed my mind. First, let me ask you a question: if you get a wedding invitation but it’s overseas, will you go? Okay, let’s flashback a bit. I was scrolling Facebook until I saw my friend post images of how each zodiac sign apologises. I laughed so hard on the train ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Of course, the image above is meant to be a joke. I’ll share with you the rest of the images later on. So, back to the topic. That image…

Hanoi: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Bich Dong Pagoda & Obama’s Bun Cha
Hello, everyone! This week, let me take you to other parts of Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Bich Dong Pagoda, and the famous Obama’s bun cha!

Travel to Hanoi: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum What’s so special about this place? As the name suggests, it’s the burial chamber of the late Ho Chi Minh, the revolutionary and ex-president of Vietnam.

This week, let me take you on a food tour in Hanoi! We’ll be sampling the famous bรกnh mรฌ (Vietnamese-style baguette), Cafรฉ Dinh’s egg coffee, and visitting the train street + a popular buffet restaurant, Sen Tรขy Hแป ๐ I had one last good brunch on Era Cruises before the tour group departed for Hanoi.

From Halong Bay, we took the express highway and reached Hanoi in just two hours. Else, it would take four hours! On the way to Hanoi, we stopped in a…

Halong Bay Cruise Review: Era Cruises
Hi, everyone! It’s been two weeks since I saw Maksim Mrvica LIVE and stood beside him… Gosh, I wish I could turn back time. Not sure when he will return to Malaysia ๐ฅฒ Luckily, long before the concert, I already booked a Vietnam tour that included a 2D1N Halong Bay cruise with Era Cruises. The trip cheered me up a bit… I used to ponder, why do I like the ocean but am not a fan of beaches? ๐๐ค I just can’t stand sitting on a beach for hours, doing nothing under the hot sun. Okay, there may be beach umbrellas but the weather would still be hot. Plus, my…

That’s Amore: Some Love Lessons for This Week
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! ๐๐๐ I’ve been waiting for this day. Finally, I could meet the Crown Prince of Piano, Maksim Mrvica, in person and watch his concert. Yaaaaay!!! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ Last Valentine’s Day was like: Me: “Do you want to be my boyfriend?” Someone: “I have a girlfriend.” Me: “Okay.” I may sound like it was all good but actually, that stung a bit. However, I feel grateful to have a happy-go-lucky personality. And for past love experiences. After so many heartbreaks, I guess it’s now easier to move on #thisis30s Thank you, next! ๐ Alright, since I’m in a lovey-dovey mood, this week I wanna share some thoughts that…
